IMPROVEMENT-IN FENCE.

The Schedule referred to in these Letters Pat-exit and making paxt of me same.

. 1'0 all 'whom 'it may concern:

Be it known that I, EDWARD FALEs, of' Glenwood, in the county ot Schuyler and in the State of Missouri, have invented certain new and useful. Im? provetncu-ts in Fences; and do hereby declare that the iollowing is a t'ull, clear, and exact description thereof', reference being had to the accompanying dran-'ing and to the l'etters of reference marked thereon making a part ot' this specification.

The nature of my invention consists in the construction and arrangement ot'a felice, as will be herc- )reventilw the ickets from coming to'fether 'or inoring on the wires.

The fence is supported by braces U U, having holes through their upper ends, through which the upper wire B passes, the lower ends of said braces heilig secured to sta-kes D D driven into the ground.

The picket on one side of each brace C is longer than the rest, and inserted inthe lground.

rlhe panels ot' the yfence are conne' 'ed by means ot' loops (o (t formed on the ends ot' the wires B B, :is shown, one loop being formed on the upper wire in one panel, and on the lower wirein the other panel.

Instead of having thc wires B B run in the zigzag form above described, the holes through the picket-s may be made slanting, so tha-tthe wires will run down from one picket to the other and up through the pickets, forming, as it were, bends iu the wires upon which the pickets are placed.

Having thus fully described my invention,

What; I claim as new, and desire to secure by Let-- ters Patent, is-

The combination ot' the pickets A A, wires 'B B, with loops a a, braces C C, and stakes l) D, all conpurposes herein setl forth. i

,ln testimony ythatl claim the foregoing, I have hereunto set my hand this 25th day ct' April, 1870. Witnesses: EDWARD FALES.
